The 30 minutes less sleep will be quickly forgotten. Memories of Zips Soccer with Dad will last a lifetime.

Forget Soul Asylum, the Bizarros are playing this?!?! I will definitely be there! For those of you that are unaware, Akron was once, for a brief moment, the epicenter of the modern music world in the late 70's and early 80's, spawning artists, musicians, and bands like Devo, The Waitresses, Chrissy Hynde, The Bizarros, Tin Huey, The Rubber City Rebels, Hammer Damage, Unit 5, Jane Aire and the Belvederes, Rachel Sweet, and even dating all the way back to Ruby and the Romantics from the 1960's. Also, if you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo is currently displaying his Myopia exhibit until the end of August at The Akron Art Museum and it is definitely worth checking out. There is also a secondary component of it at the museum of contemporary art. I've been to both and they are awesome. Even if you're not into Devo, his art is very innovative and thought provoking. Excellent documentary about Akron's contribution to music that was on PBS a few years back: It's Everything, And Then It's Gone

I'm hearing that Mykel Traylor-Bennett suffered an injury on the first day of camp and will be held out for the next 2 weeks or so. Probably not my place to disclose any details on the injury if it hasn't been made public. Also, Logan Tuley-Tillman has not practiced yet due to some academic reasons. I believe he has one class to finish or something like that. Apparently he still has a long way to go in the weight room, which makes sense since he has been out of football since last Fall.

Three talented freshman focused on a 2nd star

In my previous post, I tried to name the players. I want to give a tremendous amount of credit to Coach Embick, Leo and the entire staff. They have done a tremendous job recruiting this year and in past years. I am really looking forward to seeing this team take the field. The Akron zip soccer program has a great coaching staff and the team continues to be a super positive part of the University of Akron. Keep up the great work....Jared, Leo, etal.
